Zusammenfassung:Thunderbeat™ is a device that uses both ultrasonic and advanced bipolar energies to achieve hemostasis. It has been evaluated in a variety of clinical contexts, but no literature exists regarding its application to pancreatic surgery. Using a prospective, randomized controlled trial, we evaluated its safety and efficacy in the Whipple procedure. Thirty-two participants were enrolled in the study. The Thunderbeat™ device during the Whipple procedure showed similar safety profile compared to standard of care.
